The monsters have been arguing for a long time but they still can’t figure out what the priority is at this moment. Lin Luoran has to count on these mobs to go to the peak—She feels so stressful and gloomy.
Lin Luoran squints at Liao. Liao’s face turns blue and purple, and then turns from red to white, like a color palette knocked over—he is very anxious now. He thought about pushing these monsters to the ice peak. From the current situation, It is clear that they will never be helpful.
“Shut up!”
Facing disunited and angry monsters, Lin Luoran also can’t have a good temple. She just rewards the monsters with a pepper rain. In the sound of sneezing one after another, they finally focus on one person… Lin Luoran feels a little nervous. They are looking at her ferociously but it still means that they finally look at her.
“In fact, what happens to the Green Mountains world has nothing to do with me. If you continue to fight, I will leave with the crystal stone which can stop ice and snow. We can just separate. You are willing to be ice sculptures for ten thousand years and it is none of my business.”
This is totally a threat!
Many monsters grind their teeth in front of Lin Luoran and she just ignores them.
If they want to go to the ice peak, they can only do it when the unknown being is unprepared. After a long delay, Lin Luoran has had something in her mind. She even comes up with a very bold plan.
“There is an altar in the temple of the ice peak. We have to place the crystal on the altar. I don’t know if the Green Mountains world can restore in this way, but at least, the ice and snow will stop spreading.”
The crystal stone lays quietly in her palm. The weather is good and it shines brilliantly like coloured glaze in the sun.
What if there is more than one crystal stone?
Lin Luoran’s heart beats like a drum because of this bold and adventurous idea. If she uses a fake crystal as a cover with monsters going up the mountain from different directions… can this fool the “blizzard”?
Lin Luoran doesn’t say anything yet when the lark flies from the dense forest with panic in its eyes.
“Your friend… went up to the mountain alone!”
Lin Luoran’s pupils shrink and she catches the slender neck of the lark, “What did you say to her?!”
For no reason, why did Baojia go to the ice peak alone? She has been guarding the light door. How can Baojia go there?
Monsters and humans are in different camps. Although the lark has been nagging and annoying, all monsters will still support the lark as soon as Lin Luoran turns hostile. A war is coming. Dew from trees is all condensed because of the monsters’ momentum, suspending there but not falling down. Compared to Liao’s profusely sweating, this scene is like the climax of a mime.
Liao tries his best to rescue the lark from Lin Luoran. He is so nervous that his face turns green.
“Keep cool. Keep cool.”
The lark hides behind Liao. It screams, “I can’t stop her if she wants to go!”
…
Baojia leaves from the bottom of the lake.
It’s an underground tunnel that leads directly to the ice peak. The entrance is in the territory where larks have lived for generations. That place smells like a big dung pond. No wonder larks know the tunnel leading to the outside world of the Green Mountains, but they have never taken this shortcut for hundreds of years—it’s smelly. Besides, it’s so dirty that people don’t know where to step on.
Lin Luoran gives the fire crystal which born with the Strange Fire to the lark. “I take the real crystal. If you don’t cooperate, the only way left for us is to die together. If we just hide here, it’s just lingering on with our last breath of life.”
The faces of the lark and the monsters change.
Even though their faces turn red, they can’t vent their anger because Lin Luoran is telling the truth.
Liao is dragged down the cave by Lin Luoran and he almost faints on the spot. He has lived for so many years. In his worst days, he was trapped in the gobi desert and hid in a burrow for half a year. He even once ate scorpions and spiders and drank mice blood. However, facing such a smelly tunnel… Liao tries his best to control the sickness feeling from his stomach. He turns to look at Lin Luoran next to him.
Linny is really powerful. She takes filth as nothing, and she can stay calm in such an environment, which impresses knowledgeable Liao.
His legs are covered by dung but Lin Luoran is not stained at all. They are all human beings. How can they be so different?
Liao finally notices the glimmer around Lin Luoran’s body. She doesn’t even step on the ground!
Liao pinches his nose and accepts the situation. He secretly despises “cultivators” for a hundred times. At this moment, Lin Luoran suddenly hands him a plant like a crinitum.
“What is this?”
“Chew and eat it. Or maybe you can just walk over by yourself?”
Linny is such a nice person! Liao grabs the crinitum and throws it into his mouth to chew. It is full of flavors—sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. He sheds streams of tears and snivel. Liao points at Lin Luoran and he can’t utter a word.
Lin Luoran is not in a good mood, so she only keeps her head down to hurry on with her journey. She has no time to comfort Liao’s complicated heart.
Liao feels sorry for himself for a while. After his exploding taste buds calm down, his mouth is totally numb. What kind of spirit herb is this? This is totally a poison! But his nose really can’t smell anything after the stimulation.
As they go far, the smelly tunnel is actually a different place.
Maybe they have been under the ice lake. The air inside the tunnel is wet and cold. In the meantime, it’s bright and shining here. This place is inlaid with many gems of various colors. Maybe this is because of a lark which loves money.
Taking any one of them out, people can get a large sum of money at auction on the earth before the new era. The timing is wrong and they are not spirit stone. Therefore, Lin Luoran doesn’t even look at them, not to mention Liao. He has no personal ability. It’s useless for him to get spirit stone, let alone ordinary gems.
Lin Luoran walks on while taking time to spread her spiritual mind into the space.
There is a dragon body on the ground with flesh and blood and dead eyes.
“Where is the little silver fish? Is it okay?”
The dragon is the king of Shui nationality. Small silver fish can almost cast amazing arts of nature with a complete dragon nationality skeleton. It was free from the shackles of space. “Phoenix” has already been the top among birds. Fire phoenix can’t leave space unless Lin Luoran can provide a set of phoenix bones for it.
Hearing Lin Luoran’s question, the dragon tries its best to open its eyes. In the blink of an eye, the lifeless dragon body becomes alive again.
It turns out that the little silver fish is still inside the dragon.
“Linny… it will be dangerous… don’t go… ”
The soft voice of the small silver fish does not match a giant dragon body. Lin Luoran can hear the worry in its words.
Among the three monsters, she spends the most time with fire phoenix and silver fish. Fire phoenix is often mean, but it is actually the one who is most concerned about Lin Luoran. The little silver fish is innocent but it doesn’t mean that it is a fool. If it says something is dangerous, then it must be really dangerous.
Is it dangerous?
Since stepping on the road of personal ability enhancement, she hasn’t lived a peaceful life for so long. People with personal ability fight against the heaven. Why should Lin Luoran be fear of such kind of danger?
Soothing the little silver fish, Lin Luoran withdraws her spiritual mind out of the space.
The tunnel suddenly narrows and the bright light from the gems all the way disappears. The darkness in front makes people feel a sense of coldness which can swallow everything. Liao’s heart beats a little faster unconsciously, and his pace has slowed down.
“Wait!”
It can easily know that absurd Liao now also hesitates. After hesitating for a long time, he takes out two pieces of yellow paper folded into squares from his arms reluctantly. Tied with a red string, one of them is hung around his neck while the other is given to Lin Luoran.
“Safety Figure?”
Lin Luoran just takes it. It’s made of ordinary yellow paper without any Reiki. However, Liao has an extraordinary background. The things he collects will definitely not be ordinary. Lin Luoran also follows him to hang it on her neck solemnly.
“This is the exorcism figure painted by the first Heaven Taoist Zhang himself.”
Liao just tells the history of the yellow figure casually. Since the world of cultivation declines, some side bunches like Heaven Taoism also have no way out. It is really an amazing thing that the exorcism figure painted by the first Heaven Taoist Zhang himself can be kept until now.
However, Liao only talks about it casually, which is really not matched with his personality of showing off. Lin Luoran suddenly realizes it. Hanging the exorcism figure on his neck, Liao doesn’t feel confident at all.
“That thing is completely awake now.” Liao mutters.
The black hole not only swallows light, but also the courage and fearlessness deep in people’s hearts. Lin Luoran feels that if they are still so hesitant, even she will lose the courage to move forward, not to mention Liao.
Lin Luoran takes the lead and steps out. She soon disappears in the dark cave.
Liao sighs and soon follows in.
In fact, it is completely different from what they think. It is a short but wide tunnel without darkness. The green gravel path winds upward. No one knows where it leads, but the whole environment is refreshing and reassuring.
“This is the uphill side?”
Does the tunnel lead directly to the uphill side of the ice peak? Everything changes so fast that Lin Luoran doesn’t believe it.
Liao opens his eyes wide. He pinches and bites the glazing rock and his voice is trembling.
“Linny, come and look…”
In this boundless universe, wonders never cease. She is no longer a little rookie at that time who made a fuss when seeing shiny rocks. Liao asks her to see it, and Lin Luoran finally notices the rock with green light.
It feels smooth without sanding, and the texture is like jade. The most important thing is that Lin Luoran knows this thing—
“10,000-year Hollow Azurite?! ”
Oh my God! Is this whole mountain made of 10,000-year Hollow Azurite? The small piece of 10,000-year Hollow Azurite that she once got from Danling Taoist is extremely precious. Its powder can be dissolved in the alchemy furnace to upgrade elixirs. Everyone in the world of cultivation will fight for such a good thing and White Fairy also values it… she has to dig a big piece for White Fairy. It will almost fulfill the commitment she made before.
Liao’s face trembles, and he suddenly realizes something. There is shock and fear in his eyes.
“No wonder there is less and less 10,000-year Hollow Azurite in the world of cultivation. Even if the Green Mountains world is not separated, the earth cultivators will not find it… Who will know that someone will use 10,000-year Hollow Azurite as a mountain to fight against the heaven.”
“Against the heaven?” Lin Luoran feels terrified because of his words. Liao holds a small piece of 10,000-year Hollow Azurite in his hands. What he sees in his eyes is the endless winding road.
“10,000-year Hollow Azurite, also known as Green Mountains stone, is a magical restorative associated with the Green Mountains world. Cultivators use it to make elixirs but this is just a little trick. In fact, its most important effect is to coagulate spirit and soul. ”
Coagulate spirit and soul?!
No wonder White Fairy wants to get 10,000-year Hollow Azurite.
Wait, coagulate spirit and soul? Lin Luoran thinks of the cold blizzard and the possible identity of the “blizzard”. She now also feels very worried.
“Coagulate spirit and soul… Am I right about the situation?”
When Liao sees her expression, he knows she has understood. The old rascal is even about to cry.
“Yes, this is all because the thing wants to be resurrected—”
